Acute Performance | KSport Coilovers Sponsoree Needed!

Hi Everyone,

I'm looking to partially sponsor 1-2 996s for KSport coilovers. I recently introduced these to the 5ers on 5series.net and have heard only great feedback.

KONTROL PRO DAMPER SYSTEM
* 36 levels of adjustable damping
* Top poly bushing/pillowball gives a more comfortable and quiet ride
* Made from high quality 6061 aluminum with T6 for increased hardness
* Compression/Rebound adjustable
* Adjustable spring perch for height adjustment
* Adjustable body allowing maximum suspension travel (lowering car doesn't change spring travel)
* Pillowball top mount with adjustable camber (not available for some models)
* Monotube high pressure design reduces oil leakage
* Electroplated body for protection from corrosion and rust
* 18 Month Limited Warranty

APPLICATIONS
Porsche 996 Carrera 6/9kg Spring Rate
Porsche 996TT Carrera 6/9kg Spring Rate

REVIEWS
"I got my KSport coilovers yesterday, today Michael (acuteperformance) came down to my house to lend a hand on the install. Initial reaction? The ride is much more comfortable, stiffer but without sacrificing ride. I will update this thread I get some more miles on them and can provide a more comprehensive review. For those that are not familiar KSport is pretty big in the drift scene and were mentioned to me by some friends when I was looking for coilovers. When I found out Michael was selling these I jumped on em, the build quality looks great and the bushings on the upper mounts should eliminate the rattle normally associated with coilovers." - pjinca

"I've clocked maybe 200 miles so far and the drive has been fun. I may play around with the dampening more to tweak it just to my tastes, but so far so good." - redEyejedi

Here are pics of the 996 Carrera set:













If there are any questions or concerns let me know. I'm happy to answer them all.

If you still need any partial sponsors I am interested. I have a 2000 C2 6 speed. It came with Fabspeed intake, exhaust and chip. I am looking to do some improvements (most notably suspension), as I am planning on taking it out for some time trial track days, and autocrossing it.

thanks
Tripp

I'm looking for someone local at the moment. If I can't find someone, I'll expand the net. If you want to purchase a set at normal price let me know.

I saw on their website a few models, which one is it for $1000? Can I specify the spring rates (what does it come with standard)?

I live in Orange COunty, CA, looking to upgrade suspension on a C4S Tip Cab. Would be interested in your offer. Have experience in putting Bilstein PSS9s in my son's M3. Have all spring compressors, jacks and tools to do the job at home. One question, are the adjustments on the top of the coilover (996 Bilstein Pss9s) or can they be adjusted from the bottom?

Kontrol Pro. You can specify spring rates but it will be an extra $75 charge.

Adjustments are on top. If you want them at the bottom, you'll need an inverted setup design.
